Great location!JimMay 15, 2013

An absolutely amazing ranch resort nestled in a majestic landscape. One of my (and my families) most favorite places – everything is exceptionally done, from the breathtaking architecture of the lodge, to the furnishings, food, activities and staff. WoodyJan 19, 2012

Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa

Destination Weddings at Devil's Thumb Ranch

Just 65 miles west of Denver, a few minutes from Winter Park and seemingly a million miles away from the real world, you'll find Devil's Thumb Ranch, nestled among 6,000 acres of Colorado wilderness. The Ranch is an award-winning, year-round ranch resort, spa and wedding and honeymoon destination. Ranked among the top ten eco-friendly hotels in the world by Travel + Leisure Magazine, modern-day indulgences are met with a kind and thoughtful heart for the environment and a nod to the area's history, which pays tribute to Arapahoe and Ute Native American tribes, as well as western cowboy heritage and Nordic sports.

Ranch facilities include our brand new High Lonesome Lodge featuring featuring 31 guest rooms and 4 suites, a 52-room Main Lodge built in the style of our Grand National Park lodges, sixteen luxury ridge top log cabins, the restorative Ranch Creek Spa, as well as Cabin Creek Stables, and the High Lonesome Barn and Broad Axe Barn, both suited for wedding receptions and special events. You'll also find two restaurants - favorites of guests and locals alike, Heck's and Ranch House Restaurant. Both have been recognized by Wine Spectator Magazine for their extensive wine lists. For private dining options, check out Grotto Suraboza, our newest wine cellar featuring beautiful hand laid Italian tile floors and custom plaster walls or John Ls' Wine Cellar, with its unique wine barrel entry built from cherry wood. The resort also features full-service retail and rental shop in the activity center, and boutique-style shopping in the Spa.

Dining is sustainably focused, organic and local whenever possible, with 85 percent of the restaurants' meat and game come from Colorado producers. Heck's offers more casual dining for three meals a day while Ranch House Restaurant is the perfect thing for special occasions and has been lauded as the "Most Romantic" in the area for years. Room service is available in our Lodge.

The Ranch has been recognized by the EPA for environmentally responsible building and renovation, and that spirit of "green" flows over into everything. A specially-designed water treatment method cleans and returns most of the resort's waste water to the meandering creek, low-flow showers and toilets further help conserve. The buildings are heated with the earth's own natural heat, making for less dependence on oil and gas, but also providing a nice warm floor for our guests. We choose vendors and products that share our commitment to sustainability and conservation.
